We have been eating here during visits to town for the past few years. I have told friends and family about Gherkins! The shop is a typical beach side, no frills place with a few tables/ booths for dine in, which we usually don't do. The person who took our order and cooked it was friendly. I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel the need to let you know the burgers, which used to be amazing, seem to be frozen patties similar to those bought at the grocery store. Fries abundant, buns and toppings are still good, but it was disappointing to pay $20 for gross frozen meat that we could still taste at the end of the day. I'm sorry to say the garlic (fries) isn't good either. It was not very garlicky, which says to me that it came from a jar/can. I guess it's better for garlic breath! We have eaten sandwiches from this location, and they have been amazing and so-so on different occasions. So... there it is, my review :/ and we probably won't be back.

Was in Area for a family photo shoot. Photographer recommended sandwiches. If you are looking for a quality Deli Sandwich, this is the spot.

I was very excited to find Gherkins Sandwich shop while on a week long trip to HMB. As a vegetarian we usually get stuck with the same repetitive sandwich options when going to delis, but I was ecstatic to see that most of their sandwich options could be made vegetarian by substituting the default protein with tofu.I got a number 19 - Cal Fire with tofu which had honey mustard sauce, avocado and cheese (I switched the pepper jack for swiss). My husband got a #20 - The Sheriff with tofu, which had a Frank's Red Hot sauce. I loved the whole gherkins on the sandwiches! The biggest drawback for us is that the sandwiches were very messy to eat. The tofu ended up being cubed, so the sandwiches started falling apart instantly. I think it would probably be better if the tofu was cut into slabs if possible. I also think some extra seasoning on the tofu would be great.The sauces on our sandwiches were also a little runny, which kind of added to the messy-ness.We had gotten chips but didn't end up eating them because we were so full after the sandwiches. Overall a good option for lunch, but I would have preferred if the sandwiches were a little easier to eat.

Gherkins is the BOMB. I ordered the backseat driver breakfast sandwich and it was HUGE and tasted amazing. Glad I stopped here, just wished they had a location closer to home.

Ordered two sandwiches and they were ok, the service wasn't the most friendliest, but all good. We were hungry.

Want a hearty sandwich? Gherkins is the place to go. They have a good selection of sandwiches. The huge dill pickles are to die for!Parking: Parking is limited. If you go at a busy time it could get tricky getting a spot.
